Another good Harlan Coben. I wouldn't say it's his best though. I thought the ending was a little too stretched out and sort of a lame twist...but overall I enjoyed the book.

Grace Lawson is a happily married mother whose life is turned upside down after she receives an old photograph of her husband with a group of people. When she asks her husband Jack about the photos origins, he immediately disappears. When he finally telephones briefly, Grace senses that he is in danger. Her efforts to protect her family force her to investigate secrets which others will kill to protect.

Like all of Harlan Coben's standalone thrillers, Just One Look is very suspenseful. The super-scary Eric Wu is back,. The occasional violent scenes are balanced by warm ones; indeed one of Coben's strengths is creating characters you cheer for because they act with the interests of their loved ones at heart.

The ending (which I will not give away) was complicated and perhaps a bit more contrived than some of his other books. Coben's books are always worth the ride though.

Wow. Following Grace Lawson as she unravels the mystery of her husband's disappearance is a wild ride. Vicious villains abound on this hard, fast, winding trail - and the pages fly by.

Another great one by Harlan Coben. He is the master of the genre. Plot twists and clues revealed most unexpectedly keep you guessing right up until the end. And just when you think the story is over and all has been revealed--BAM--a new twist. Great book!

Full of twists and turns, it will keep you guessing untill the end. I couldn't put it down, stayed up until 1 am reading it.

Very entertaining and brisk read. Love the fast pace, great mystery and suspense. Highly recommend.

As far as I'm concerned, Coben is the best. What a great book! Highly recommended.

FANTASTIC AND UNPUTDOWNABLE.

The premise is simple enough: suburban housewife Grace Lawson collects some pictures at the local Photomat; inexplicably, one is an old print depicting her husband, Jack, with other college students; when Grace shows the photo to Jack, he drives away-and disappears. Grace's hunt for her missing husband, whom we learn has been kidnapped (but why? and Coben fans will note that the author's last novel also hinged on a kidnapped family member), sweeps her back into a nightmare she thought she'd escaped: the evening years ago when she survived a rock concert rampage, occasioned by a shooting that left many dead. Meanwhile, Eric Wu, a-dare we say?-inscrutable martial-arts killer who has snatched Jack for reasons unknown, menaces assorted folk. Eventually Grace, aided by a Gotti-like mobster whose child was killed in the rampage, gloms on to Wu, as well as on to Jack's sister, a high-powered attorney who, it turns out, is representing the guy who started the rampage by firing his gun. Only he didn't start the rampage after all, and then there's the rock star who vanished after the shooting and resultant mayhem-what's he now doing on Grace's doorstep?

Grace Lawson finds a picture from a long time ago with her husband in it, yet when she asks him about it, he denies knowing anything about it. As Grace tries to uncover the truth, she realizes that others are looking for her husband and the photograph. The police won't help her, and she doesn't know who of her friends to trust, so she must confront her own past to learn the truth and bring her husband home.

Good book!

This is a fast read. I couldn't put it down.

Like the last couple of his books, it kept me interested and was suspenseful but when I was done I felt like the plot was a little outlandish.

Another non-stop thriller by one of my favs - Harlan Coben!!

Great book.

I picked this book up and was instantly hooked--never heard of the author prior. I'm going to read every one of his books. Totally a page-turner that keeps you trying to figure things out--there are a LOT of characters to keep track of.

Interesting plot twists and turns. A good, quick read - want to know what happens next; so you don't put it down for long. Well written.

This was the first book I've read from this author, Harlan Coben. I enjoyed it very much and intend to read more from this author! It's an outstanding mystery that includes murder and kidnapping. It's not a lot of blood and gore which I really appreciate!
If you've never read a Harlan Coben book before and like good mystery then this is a good one for you too. Or you've not yet read this title, it is a very good book.

This is my second book by this author. I really like him. It was a great read. Some books take you a while to get into it. Not this one. I couldn't put it down after the first couple of pages. I also liked that I couldn't figure out the ending as much as I tried. I prefer a challenge and don't enjoy a suspense book as much when the ending is predictable. Not this one in anyway possible.

Even though this one didn't have Myron in it, it did have other characters from other books in it. I really enjoy when authors do that. Another great book from Harlan Coben!!!
